Draft:The Sims (film)

The Sims is an upcoming American comedy-drama film directed by Kate Herron and co-written by Briony Redman. It is based on the video game series of the same name by Maxis.

Development
A live-action drama film based upon the franchise was announced in May 2007. The Sims film rights had been purchased by 20th Century Fox in the same year.

In 2019, following the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney, the film along with numerous video game-based movies in development at Fox were canceled.

In March 2024, it was reported that a live-action adaptation was in early development with Kate Herron attached to direct and Margot Robbie producing.

In May 2024, Amazon MGM Studios acquired the distribution rights to the film.
